Tinchebray-Bocage Vacations from $722

I had a pleasant stay at Novotel Bayeux. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the hotel room was clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would be happy to stay here again.

On arrival, lack of a warm welcome and information about anything. Given the keys to what I can only describe as a dingy dark hole in the attic with thread bear stained carpet. Asked to move rooms straight away. Second room... Stains on carpet, peeling paint, cracked tiles, couldn't open any windows, coffee making items non existent but coffee machine in place. Light bulb missing, light fittings loose. Dirty wine glass given when we asked a reception staff member for a drink from the bar. Restaurant not open. Overall this place felt really depressing, lacking in life and friendliness. Stayed 1 night instead of 4 and found somewhere else. Can't comment on breakfast as it didn't seem to be there and no one bothered to show us where anything was. So disappointed as this was a special treat for my husband.

Wonderful stay! Beautiful Manor, lovely setting - very peaceful. Hosts were very kind and were especially helpful when we had to make some changes due to my son’s health. Would recommend highly!!

The hotel was conveniently located in the "downtown" district. Shops, tourist attractions, restaurants were within walking distance.
